Gordon-Levitt Out of Django Unchained

MTV spoke to the actor, who said, "I've been in touch with Quentin about it, and it was so cool to trust me to do this little part in his movie. ... I would have loved, loved to have done it. He's one of my very favorite filmmakers, and he was really supportive of me directing and that meant the world to me."

That directing would be Gordon-Levitt's helming debut, Don Jon's Addiction, which reportedly is one of the projects the actor will be working on rather than Django.
